any idea what i can do to get it so that winbox doesnt always download plugins for ROS version i know ive used winbox to access before? can we just get a BIG winbox with all the plugins?
its really annyoing to have to wait for 1mb of data transfers before you can admin your router. esp on slow connections or when winbox drops mid way through download of plugins
On what OS are you running winbox?
On windows, it should create e folder under user appdata folder with all the plugins of the respective RouterOS versions you have accessed. Once downloaded it should not download them again. If it is downloading again for the same version, it means this folder is not created, or deleted.
